Wiedermal siegt deine Naivität
und du hoffst es gebührt dir wahre Liebe zum dank
doch Wahrheit schmerzt und es ist wieder zu spät
die Hoffnung in dir wird langsam schwach und krank

Spürst du die Dornen um dich ranken
was nützt die Liebe in Gedanken
du läufst verloren in deinem Labyrinth
spürst die Angst in dir wie ein kleines Kind

You gaze into the dark sky
in a blink it seems so easy to fly
fly away from here, away from here

Still waiting for an angel to come
to make all these hurtful events undone
take me away from here, away from here


Weiterhin bist du bereit zu riskieren
wie früher bevor dein Herz still stand
glaubst du seist frei, denkst du hast nichts zu verlieren
deine Träume - gib sie nicht aus der Hand

Ein Kuss von ihr bricht deinen Willen
doch kann er deinen Hunger stillen
du weisst, dein grösster Gegner ist die Zeit
schürt dein Verlangen nach der Ewigkeit

You gaze into the dark sky
in a blink it seems so easy to fly
fly away from here, away from here

Still waiting for an angel to come
to make all these hurtful events undone
take me away from here, away from here

( In Strict Confidence )

Lasa-ti ochiul sa priveasca în voie
Tot ce mâine ai putea sa nu mai vezi
Si asculta ecoul durerii
Coborât peste noi cu prea multe dovezi.

Cauta azi sa te bucuri pentru toate
Pentru ca mâine s-ar putea sa nu mai fii.
Poate mâine ai sa fii în libertate
În libertate dar plecat dintre cei vii.

Si încearca sa mai crezi si în bine
Si încearca sa mai crezi în bunul Dumnezeu
Poate El sa nu uite de tine
Si o clipa sa-i pese de sufletul tau.

Si încearca daca vrei sa nu mai plângi
Pentru teama ascunsa în noi toti
Bucuria din suflet sa n-o alungi
Mai încearca sa traiesti atât cât mai poti.

(Valeriu Sterian)

The same dream every night
the dream of distant lands
where sun and moon unite
where all my longing ends

But when I wake from sleep
my eyes are full of rust
there’s nothing I can keep
my vision fades to dust

Bring me to the promised land
you know I need to understand
why horizons are too far too touch

Please take me down to holy grounds
where I can hear a million sounds
why my longing always hurts so much

Is there a secret way?
is there a secret door?
do I have to pray?
to reach the promised shore?

The key is in your eyes
and written on your heart
where all the wisdom lies
where all creations start

Bring me to the promised land
you know I need to understand
why horizons are too far too touch

Please take me down to holy grounds
where I can hear a million sounds
why my longing always hurts so much

( In Strict Confidence- " Promised Land " )

Trees have dropped their leaves,
Clouds their waters
All this burden is killing me

Distance is covering your way,
Tears your memory
All this beauty is killing me

"Oh, do you care?"
"I still feel for you"

"So aware",
"What should be lost is there"

I fear I will never find anyone
I know my greatest pain is yet to come
Will we find each other in the dark
My long lost love?

Safely away from the world
In a dream, timeless domain
A child, dreamy eyed,
Mother's mirror, father's pride

I wish I could come back to you
Once again feel the rain
Falling inside me
Cleaning all that I've become

My home is far but the rest it lies so close
With my long lost love under the black rose
You told I had the eyes of a wolf
Search them and find the beauty of the beast

All of my songs can only be composed of the greatest of pains
Every single verse can only be born of the greatest of wishes
I wish I had one more night to live

A saint blessed me, drank me deeply
Spitting out the misery in me
Still a sinner rapes 1000 saints
Sharing the same hell with me

Sanest choice in the insane world:
Beware the beast but enjoy the feast he offers

"Oh, sweet Christabel. Share with me your poem.
For I know now, I'm a puppet on this silent stage show.
I'm but a poet who failed his best play.
A Dead Boy, who failed to write an ending
To each of his poems."

( Nightwish )
